write dbutils.fs.put('abfs://some_address_to_some_abfs_location_you_have/helloworld.txt','Hello World',True) and notice that it outputs "Wrote X bytes." to the console stdout. I don't want "Wrote X bytes" to be written to the console.

You can suppress dbutils.fs.put()'s output by setting sys.stdout = open("/dev/null","w") and just writing it out somewhere useless, but this doesn't work in a threaded application.

I could suppress the output by getting rid of sys.stdout like above, and then use logging, and write warnings, but I'd rather not have a warning written as I'm using warnings and errors for other purposes.image.png

No, have not resolved the issue. Still Wrote 105783245 bytes. If dbutils.fs.put(), which is:

put(file: String, contents: String, overwrite: boolean = false): boolean -> Writes the given String out to a file, encoded in UTF-8

Could instead be:

put(file: String, contents: String, overwrite: boolean = false, verbose: boolean = true): boolean -> Writes the given String out to a file, encoded in UTF-8, defaults message to stdout unless verbose=false

That would be great.
